Until now, Night Thoughts has many kinds of English versions. The study of different English translations of Night Thoughts is important. This paper selects sixteen translations of Night Thoughts to analyze and compare from a new perspective. By Eco-translatology the sixteen English versions can be reinterpreted. This thesis focuses on the study of the sixteen translated versions of Night Thoughts from the perspective of Eco-translatology.
